About Me

I'm an easy going, adventurous soul that is looking to enjoy and experience life. Deep conversations enrich me so don't be surprised if I ask philosophical and thought-provoking questions.

I've lived abroad several times and travelled extensively; for me home is not just one place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy talking to people from different cultures and countries. I believe we all have something to learn from everyone we encounter.

Interests

Nature - hiking, parks/gardens, beaches etc. Anything that connects me to my inner self.

Travel - I'm constantly looking out for my next adventure.

Self -developement - meditation, medicinal plants (Ayahuasca/psilocybin mushrooms), psychology, philosophy. I am after all a work in progress.

I like listening to older rock/pop music, such as:

- David Bowie
- Fleetwood Mac
- Cat Stevens
- Eagles
- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
- INXS
- Pink Floyd
- Dire Straits

But also, ambient/electronic and downtempo, such as:

- Bonobo
- Tycho
- Air
- God is an Astronaut

When it comes to books, I prefer those that make me think deeper about life. Some examples:

- Siddhartha
- Meditations
- Narcissus and Goldmund
- The Road Less Travelled
- The Prophet
- The Alchemist
